Poetry

Nayanathara's poems come straight from the heart and are marked by deep sympathy for all those who suffer: from the mythical Vaidehi to the salt-maker and the water-wife who slave for others and are abandoned to their dark fate. But she also is philosophical enough to understand someone like the Buddha whose dedication to a larger cause had compelled him to give up the comforts of home. She has the basic qualities of a poet and I am sure will soon master the form.

Bright rainbows, fireworks, blossoming springtime flowers and wild elephant rides! Kusum Chaudhry has captured these memories of her early days growing up in India and presented them in this series of poems for children of all ages to enjoy. Fill your dreams every night with these fun-filled childhood memories.

I am a mere pre-verse in the lyrics; the song is yours,
I am a mere bend in the road; the pathway is yours,
I am a mere cloud that flits aimlessly; the sky is yours,
I am a mere comma behind the word; the sentence is yours,
So dont let me stop you from writing that song,
From finishing that journey, from touching the sky.
For I am a mere chapter in the novel,
The story has always been yours.

This book is a compilation of poems, articles, and middles written by the author while he was in Goa as well as during his stay in Kenya, where he spent a considerable part of his life. These articles and poems, written by the author at various stages in his life, and on various subjects, are a reflection of the times he lived in. The author hopes that these experiences should provide the same pleasure and inspiration to the readers of this book as they did to him.

Experience rain showers of romance and delight,
Penned down on my days too bright.
Magic translated in words to inspire,
Encouraging you to fulfill your desires.
Beware of thorny tones of pain,
Pulled in from my memory lane.
They’ll show the world what it took,
To make me a poet and fill a book.

“everything is other people's business.
this is the last rant of this sort this year. the
next one will have words like phishing and
fecundity and yuletide. everything is other
people's business. that i've kept you from
dying on many a saturday nights when your
social life failed you is of little relevance.”
